Use of a Headstone Base

A headstone base is installed directly below a headstone.  While a base is structurally sound in itself, it is not a required structural requirement of a headstone installation.  Bases are basically installed for aesthetic reasons.  The width of the base depends on the requirements of the customer and can be the same as the width of the headstone or wider.  Use of a base is optional and at the discretion of the customer.

Headstone Base Construction

Headstone Bases are available in stainless steel and polished black granite.  Stainless steel bases are fabricated from 3mm thick, marine grade stainless steel with sufficient gussets to support the headstone together with fixing holes and threads for attaching the headstone and installation of the assembly.  Granite bases are a solid block of polished black granite with fixings holes for attaching the headstone and installation of the assembly.  Granite bases are available in specific widths only.  Stainless steel bases are available at any width between 400mm and 1200mm.  Stainless steel and granite bases can be supplied with or without flower pot holders.

Ordering a Headstone Base

A headstone base is usually ordered with a headstone if a base is required.  The base, complete with type and size, is selected during the process of designing the headstone.  When you have finished your design, you may save the design to our server.  You will be asked whether you wish to upload some extra images and whether you wish to email your quotation to friends and relatives.
You may then purchase your headstone and base from our online store.
